Speaking during an inspection visit at the facility, Kiberia said that the government had given priority to the renovation works at the Kinoru Stadium in Meru and at the Moi Internationals sports Centre, Kasarani.

The work had stalled for over nine month as the contractors put down their tools owing to lack of payment, a situation the PS maintains has been resolved.

“For now the seats have not been installed but they have promised to fix them by November 12. By March 2019, all the seats will have been fixed, and the stadium will be complete,”Kiberai said.
